Project Introduction.
a major resignalling programme by TFL
Four Lines Modernisation (4LM) was a major resignalling programme established by TfL to install Communications Based Train Control (CTBC). 4LM faced a distinctive challenge in implementing CTBC on four operational underground railway lines, which were among the oldest sections of the underground, making up 40% of the network.
The Problem.
The intricacies of the NEC contractual framework, coupled with the software development occurring within the Contractor's team in Canada, posed difficulties in establishing robust Project Management Office (PMO) processes and systems that catered to both TfL requirements and a joint PMO between TfL and the contractor.
Our Solution.
To address these challenges, Movar initiated a comprehensive restructuring, dividing the PMO team into two sub-teams. One sub-team focused on TfL-controlled project deliverables, while the other collaborated with the contractor's PMO team to establish a joint PMO. A key initiative involved the creation of a joint Risk, Assumptions, Issues, and Dependencies (RAID) log, enhancing forecasting accuracy and addressing risks and issues collaboratively.
Additionally, a consolidated periodic reporting suite, driven by an integrated data source, was established to provide collaborative, accurate data to senior TfL leadership.
